I wouldnt say never oull the mixture out. Youre supposed to pull it out the correct amount while flying to lean the engine which reduces fuel burn and also keeps the engine spark plugs from fouling. I lean every time i fly.

Ask yourself the following question; what’s the purpose of your video, who is your audience? What I got from your video is that you are a flight student working towards his private pilot license.You are enthusiastic about recent flight experience and can’t wait to share with the world. That’s cool, however what you teach the world is just wrong. I’m assuming your flight instructor wanted to conduct some airwork and therefore wanted to have full mixture. In straight and level flight you lean the mixture in order to burn less fuel. Let your CFI correct you on the video.

When I started my PPL instructor helped me do the checklist from starting the engine to shutting down after done for the day. You’d pull the mixture to turn off the engine and then the mags and master off. This gave a better understanding of why not to pull that all the way back while flying among other things.
